Metroid Prime Remastered (Nintendo Switch) Score: 10/10. It has a cool little narration at the beginning and end of the game, and thats pretty much it from what I experienced.

Plus from the game itself, that was a Japanese exclusive. This does not affect the gameplay but was a nice wee touch.Īudio is forgettable, the guns all sound ok, the music is subpar, and Mark’s footsteps are horrid. From what I read, the full on narration was for the original Japanese Version and I guess those were the names of the areas there. As Mark is in a space style suit, the HUD works like a computer screen lagging with the refresh line going down the field of vision. The only graphical aspect I really liked was the HUD. Yeah, I was let down the enemies glow yellow or red mostly, so spotting them is a simple matter. With all this dark, the last thing I wanted to see was bright enemies, so it increased the horror feel.

With a handful of easy dispatched bosses and short levels that are nothing more than wave based areas and plenty of button pushing.Īs you wander about the station, you will encounter different enemy types that pose minor threat unless close up in a group. The developers have gone for a more action based game, with a hint of Doom (Just a hint don’t get excited). In the Hallow 2 they have mixed the game up, instead of a laboriously slow horror walking style sim, with even worse combat. It is almost impossible to hear the narration unless you turn down the rest of the audio. The story suffers the same fate as the rest of the game it is dull.
